Players from the Vikings can still earn placement in the games through replacing injured players or replacing those in the Super Bowl. However, no one making it in the initial voting should be a red flag for those following the events of the 2025 season in Minnesota.
The Vikings' running back room might get some coal in their stocking this Christmas. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reporter on Tuesday that Jordan Mason is a "longshot" to play on Thursday against the Lions. While the Vikings are not ruling out RB Jordan Mason (ankle) for Thursday, he’s considered a longshot as of now, per source.
For the first time in more than a decade, the Pro Bowl roster lacks a single Minnesota Viking. The NFL released its all-star lineup on Tuesday, and amid a disappointing season that currently sees the Vikings below .500 and struggling particularly on offense, no Minnesota players are listed.
The Minnesota Vikings won a low-stakes 16-13 contest against the New York Giants, and questions surrounding the quarterback remain.
⏹Against Washington in Week 15, running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. became the first Giant to record a rushing and receiving touchdown in the same game since Saquon Barkley on 9/17/23 at Arizona. The two scores in one game were also a career-high for Tracy.
The Vikings (7-8) shut down rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart and the Giants (2-13). New York finished with a meager 141 yards of offense, by far its lowest total of the season. Minnesota sacked Dart five times and intercepted him once, as the 22-year-old finished with just 33 yards on 7-of-13 passing.
However, one former Vikings player made the Pro Bowl roster: Sam Darnold.
Tuesday provided another. Brett Rypien, who spent time with the Bengals this year, just got claimed by the Minnesota Vikings on waivers after his release from the Indianapolis Colts. Ready for this?
The holiday season is being consumed by football, but one player's NFL cleats will steal the show on Christmas. The Minnesota Vikings will play Thursday as the NFC North team looks to finish the season strong against two divisional opponents.
